COME INSIDE THE HOME:
Honey Homes is a network of distinctive regional stays, where every home and every stay is held to our Golden Standard.
The studio is set up to settle into quickly — drop your bags and head into Bathurst when you're ready to explore. The desk and reliable wifi suit work trips, while the BBQ and outdoor seating area are a good spot to unwind in the evening. Ophir Studio shares its grounds with Ophir House, an immaculate six-bedroom home at the same address — independently accessed, so larger groups can book both together if more space is needed.

Ophir Studio sits in a quiet residential setting six minutes' drive from Bathurst's CBD. Mount Panorama Racing Circuit is 11 minutes away, while the Bathurst Adventure Playground, with picnic tables and BBQ facilities, is 4 minutes from the door. Abercrombie House, a heritage-listed mansion with occasional high tea events, is also 4 minutes away. For coffee, Brilliant Street Cafe is 6 minutes' drive; for dinner, Thai Terrace is 4 minutes and Church Bar — pizzas and cocktails in a converted brick schoolhouse — is nearby too. Mount Panorama Wines is close by for tastings. Westpoint Shopping Centre (IGA, BWS, Dominos, a pharmacy and Kisuya Japanese Restaurant) is 4 minutes away, and Bathurst Base Hospital is 5 minutes away.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire studio for the duration of their stay.
The Neighborhood:
Bathurst is located on the banks of the Macquarie River — a vibrant country city with rich cultural heritage, recognised as a centre of learning. Heritage-listed buildings and rich history fuse with world-class museums and galleries. Spectacular natural wonders co-exist with a modern cultural landscape. The food scene is innovative and signature events are of an international standard.
Getting Around:
Car, Uber, taxi.
Other Things to Note:
Parking: Please don't park on the grass — larger vehicles should park on the street.
